Coffee Cardamom Date Truffles
Description
Coffee Cardamom Date Truffles combine dates, roasted almonds, peanut butter, cocoa powder, instant coffee, and cardamom into a finely processed mixture that forms the base of these bite-sized sweets. The natural sweetness of the dates balances with the earthiness of coffee powder and the warm spice of cardamom. After blending, the mixture is shaped into balls and rolled in cocoa powder, which adds a slight bitterness to offset the sweetness and gives a smooth outer coating.
The truffles have a chewy texture and a complex flavor profile thanks to the combination of ingredients. They require no baking and simply need chilling in the refrigerator to firm up before serving. This no-cook preparation makes them convenient for a quick homemade treat.
Stored in an airtight container in the fridge, these truffles keep their texture and flavor, making them suitable to prepare in advance for gatherings or as a portable snack.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups dates fresh, pitted
- 1/4 cup almond roasted
- 1/3 cup peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon dutch-processed cocoa powder plus extra for dusting
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cardamom
Instructions
- Combine the dates, almonds, peanut butter, 1 tablespoon cocoa powder, coffee powder, and cardamom in a food processor and puree until finely chopped and combined well.
- Using slightly damp hands, take small pieces of the date mix and roll into your hands until you get a circle. Dip this circle into a bowl of cocoa powder and set aside onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat with all the date mixture.
- Store in fridge in an airtight container until ready to serve.
Notes
- The truffles should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
- Using damp hands when shaping helps prevent sticking and keeps the truffles smooth.
- Extra cocoa powder can be used for dusting to add a slight bitterness that contrasts the sweetness.
